Now You all knowThe bards and their songsWhen hours have gone byI'll close my eyesIn a world far awayWe may meet againBut now hear my songAbout the dawn of the nightLet's sing the bards' song

Ref.:Tomorrow will take us awayFar from homeNoone will ever know our namesBut the bards' songs will remainTomorrow will take it awayThe fear of todayIt will be goneDue to our magic songs

There's only one songLeft in my mindTales of a brave manWho lived far from hereNow the bard songs are overAnd it's time to leaveNoone should ask You for the nameOf the oneWho tells the story

Ref.:Tomorrow will take us awayFar from homeNoone will ever know our namesBut the bards' songs will remainTomorrow all will be knownAnd You're not aloneSo don't be afraidIn the dark and cold'Cause the bards' songs will remainThey all will remain

In my thoughts and in my dreamsThey're always in my mindThese songs of hobbits, dwarves and menAnd elvesCome close Your eyesYou can see them, too

No sign of life did flickerIn floods of tears she cried"All hope's lost it can't be undoneThey're wasted and gone"

"Save me your speechesI know (They blinded us all)What you wantYou will take it away from meTake it and I know for sureThe light she once brought inIs gone forevermore"

Like sorrowful seaguls they sang"(We're) lost in the deep shadesThe misty cloud brought(A wailing when beauty was goneCome take a look at the sky)Monstrous it covered the shoreFearful into the unknown"Quietly it crept in new horrorInsanity reignedAnd spilled the first bloodWhen the old king was slain

chorus:NightfallQuietly crept in and changed us allNightfallQuietly crept in and changed us allNightfallImmortal land lies down in agony

"How long shall weMourn in the darkthe bliss and the beautyWill not returnSay farewell to sadness and griefThough long and hard the road may be"But even in silence I heard the words"An oath we shall swearBy the name of the oneUntil the world's endIt can't be broken"

Just wondering howI can still hear these voices inside

The doom of the Noldor drew near

The words of a banished king"I swear revenge"Filled with anger aflamed our heartsFull of hate full of prideWe screamed for revenge

chorus

"Vala he is that's what you saidThen your oath's been sworn in vain(But) freely you came andYou freely shall depart(So) never trust the northern windsNever turn your back on friends"

"Oh I'm heir of the high lord!""You better don't trust him"The enemy of mineIsn't he of your kind andFinally you may follow meFarewellHe said

Send away for a priceless giftOne not subtle, one not on the listSend away for a perfect worldOne not simply, so absurdIn these times of doing what you're toldYou keep these feelings, no one knowsWhat ever happened to the young man's heartSwallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,Swimming through the ashes of another lifeNo real reason to accept the way things have changedStaring down the barrel of a 45

Send a message to the unborn childKeep your eyes open for a whileIn a box high up on the shelf, left for you, no one else There's a piece of a puzzle known as lifeWrapped in guilt, sealed up tight

What ever happened to the young man's heartSwallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart

To dream the impossible dreamTo fight the unbeatable foeTo bear with unbearable sorrowAnd to run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrongAnd to love pure and chaste from afarTo try when your arms are too wearyTo reach the unreachable star

This is my questTo follow that starNo matter how hopelessNo matter how farTo fight for the rightWithout question or pauseTo be willing to march, march into hellFor that heavenly causeAnd I knowIf I'll only be trueTo this glorious questThat my heartWill lie peaceful and calmWhen I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for thisThat one man, scorned and covered with scars,Still strove with his last ounce of courageTo reach the unreachable, the unreachable,The unreachable star

I never said I'd lie and wait foreverIf I died, we'd be togetherI can't always just forget herBut she could try

At the end of the worldOr the last thing I seeYou areNever coming homeNever coming homeCould I? Should I?And all the things that you never ever told meAnd all the smiles that are ever ever...Ever...

Get the feeling that you're neverAll alone and I remember nowAt the top of my lungs in my arms she diesShe dies

At the end of the worldOr the last thing I seeYou areNever coming homeNever coming homeCould I? should I?And all the things that you never ever told meAnd all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt meNever coming home Never coming homeCould I? Should I?And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar meFor all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me

If I fallIf I fall (down)

At the end of the worldOr the last thing I seeYou areNever coming homeNever coming homeNever coming homeNever coming homeAnd all the things that you never ever told meAnd all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt meNever coming homeNever coming homeCould I? Should I?And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar meFor all the ghosts that are never gonna...

Unstoppable force and immovable object,repel one another when by chance colliding.The Brownian-Motion within this love potion,ensures our opinions are always dividing.I am from Mars my dear;you hail from Venus.A meeting star-crossedlike the Sun and the Moon.Destined to let this cruel worldcome between us.Our last kiss eclipsed by a shadow at noon.

A rose that is builtout of music by moonlight;petals stained ruby with nightingale blood.Cast down in disgustto be crushed by a cart-wheel,because of mere trivia misunderstood.

We quest for a grail of illusive perfection,each hoping we'll find it some glorious day.Yet gaze with remorse at our jaded reflection,that looks like The Picture Of Dorian Gray.

Siamese Twins who were joined at the heart.Love's an affliction without a known remedy.Blunt-bladed fatedeemed to cleave us apart;Emotional surgery pays no indemnity.Some seek release with effete anaesthesia,others adapt to the role of sworn enemy.You found nepenthe in cheap, sweet amnesia;It was far easier losing my memory.

And the nightingale sang:"Sing love's lamentwith a thorn at your breast.Impaled by her barb;cruel and unforgiving.A million dead poets would gladly attest;heart-ache's a keepsaketo remind us we're living."

Siamese Twins who were joined at the heart.Love's an affliction without a known remedy.Blunt-bladed fatedeemed to cleave us apart;Emotional surgery pays no indemnity.Some seek release with effete anaesthesia,others adapt to the role of sworn enemy.You found nepenthe in cheap, sweet amnesia;It was far easier losing my memory.

I was hanging from a treeUnaccustomed to such violenceJesus looking down on meI'm prepared for one big silenceHow'd I ever end up hereMust be through some lack of kindnessThen it seemed to dawn on meHaemoglobin is the keyTo a healthy heartbeat

At the time they cut me freeI was brimming with defianceDoctors looking down on meBreaking every law of scienceHow'd I ever end up hereA latent strain of color blindnessThen it seemed to dawn on meHaemoglobin is the keyTo a healthy heartbeat

As they dragged me to my feetI was filled with incoherenceThe ories of conspiracyThe whole world wants my disappearanceI'll go fighting nail and teethYou've never seen such perseveranceGoing to make you scared of me'Cause haemoglobin is the keyTo a healthy heartbeat

Did I disappoint you or let you down?Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.So I took what's mine by eternal right.Took your soul out into the night.It may be over but it won't stop there,I am here for you if you'd only care.You touched my heart you touched my soul.You changed my life and all my goals.And love is blind and that I knew when,My heart was blinded by you.I've kissed your lips and held your hand.Shared your dreams and shared your bed.I know you well, I know your smell.I've been addicted to you.

2xGoodbye my lover.Goodbye my friend.You have been the one.You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer but when I wake,You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.And as you move on, remember me,Remember us and all we used to beI've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.I've watched you sleeping for a while.I'd be the father of your child.I'd spend a lifetime with you.I know your fears and you know mine.We've had our doubts but now we're fine,And I love you, I swear that's true.I cannot live without you.

2xGoodbye my lover.Goodbye my friend.You have been the one.You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.In mine when I'm asleep.And I will bear my soul in time,When I'm kneeling at your feet.

2xGoodbye my lover.Goodbye my friend.You have been the one.You have been the one for me.

Swing low in a dark glass hourYou turn and cowerSee it turn to dust Move on a stone dark nightWe take to flightSnowfall turns to rust Seam in a fusing mineLike a nursing rhymeFat man starts to fall Year in a hostile placeI hear your faceStart to call

And if you think that I've been losing my wayThat's because I'm slightly blindedAnd if you think that I don't make too much senseThat's because I'm broken mindedDon't keep it...

InsideIf you believe itDon't keep it all inside

Strong words in a Ganges skyI have to lieShadows move in pairs Ring out from a bruised postcardIn the shooting yardLooking through the tears Out of the black slate timeWe move in lineBut never reach an end Fall in a long stray townAs the ice comes downRivers start to bend

And if you think that I've been losing my wayThat's because I'm slightly blindedAnd if you think that I don't make too much senseThat's because I'm broken mindedDon't keep it...

Dead men lying on the bottom of the graveWondering when savior comes, is he gonna be savedMaybe you're a sinner into your alternate lifeMaybe you're a joker, maybe you deserve to die

They were crying when their sons leftGod is wearing blackHe's gone so far to find no hopeHe's never coming back

They were crying when their sons leftAll young men must goHe's come so far to find the truthHe's never going home

Young men standing on the top of their own gravesWondering when Jesus comes, are they gonna be savedCruelty to the winner, bishop tells the king his liesMaybe you're a mourner, maybe you deserve to die

They were crying when their sons leftGod is wearing blackHe's gone so far to find no hopeHe's never coming back

They were crying when their sons leftAll young men must goHe's come so far to find no truthHe's never going home

Welcome to the soldier sideWhere there is no one here but mePeople all grow up to dieThere is no one here but me

Welcome to the soldier sideThere is no one here but mePeople on the soldier sideThere is no one here but me

So, no one told you life was gonna be this wayYour job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.It's like you're always stuck in second gearAnd it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year But -

I'll be there for you ... when the rain starts to fallI'll be there for you ... like I've been there beforeI'll be there for you ... cause you're there for me, too

You're still in bed at ten and work began at eightYou've burned your breakfast, so far everything is greatYour mother warned you there'd be days like theseBut she didn't tell you when the world has brought you down to your kneesThat -

I'll be there for you ... when the rain starts to fallI'll be there for you ... like I've been there beforeI'll be there for you ... cause you're there for me, too

[The Farm Hand's Ghost:]"My kin and I had laboured hardto reap the yearly harvest.Lain weary on our gathered sheaves wecracked a vat of ale. Poured a toast;Began to boast of who could sup the hardest.Slumped in drunken slumberat the height of wild wassail....

We fought until the last that dayto gain a hard-won victory,Sucked in by the thirsty earthI watched my life-blood ebb.Though I died at leastI'd tried to play some part in history;A momentary tremblingon the threads of Wyrd's web."

[The Lord Of The Trees:]"Are there more so brave and honest;Who would die to save my forest?"

Can't you see the witchcan't you see the witchcan't you see the witch by my side.

Can't you see the witchcan't you see the witchcan't you see the witch by my side.Can't you see my deathfearI can hear her voiceShoutin' everywherewho know what I've could doneit must be so badthat a witch does care.

Can't you see the witchcan't you see the witchcan't you see the witch by my side.

I´ve got a little creepy devil itching under my skinHe´s got a little creepy devil itching under his skinI fight all day, all night but I don´t know if I’ll ever winHe fights all night n’ day but no one knows if he´ll ever win

Hey-ho, don´t you knowwhere this little devil is about to go…

Round-and-round, into your brainlittle devil´s working hard to drive you insaneRound-and-round, and here he comes againThe master of the puppet that I am

Holding hands Skipping like a stone On our way To see what we have done The first to speak is the first to lie The children cross Their hearts & hope to die Bite your tongue Swear to keep your mouth shut Ask yourself Will i burn in Hell? Then write it down & cast it in the well There they are The mob it cries for blood To twist the tale Into fore wood Fan the flames With a little lie Then turn your cheek Until the fire dies The skin it peels Like the truth, away What it was I will never say... Bite your tongue, swear to keep Keep your mouth shut Make up something Make up something good... Holding hands Skipping like a stone Burn the witch Burn to ash & bone

Let me tell you a story to chill the bonesAbout a thing that I sawOne night wandering in the evergladesI'd one drink but no more

I was rambling, enjoying the bright moonlightGazing up at the starsNot aware of a presence so near to meWatching my every move

Feeling scared and I fell to my kneesAs something rushed me from the treesTook me to an unholy placeAnd that is where I fell from grace

Then they summoned me over to join in with themTo the dance of the deadInto the circle of fire I followed themInto the middle I was led

As if time had stopped still I was numb with fearBut still I wanted to goAnd the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon meAs I walked onto the coals

And I felt I was in a tranceAnd my spirit was lifted from meAnd if only someone had the chanceTo witness what happened to me

And I danced and I pranced and I sang with themAll had death in their eyesLifeless figures they were undead all of themThey had ascended from hell

As I danced with the deadMy free spirit was laughing and howling down at meBelow my undead bodyJust danced the circle of dead

Until the time came to reunite us bothMy spirit came back down to meI didn't know if I was alive or deadAs the others all joined in with me

By luck then a skirmish startedAnd took the attention away from meWhen they took their gaze from meWas the moment that I fled

I ran like hell faster than the windBut behind I did not glanceOne thing that I did not dareWas to look just straight ahead

When you know that your time has come aroundYou know you'll be prepared for itSay your last goodbyes to everyoneDrink and say a prayer for it

When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bedAnd you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the deadWhen you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bedAnd you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead

To this day I guess I'll never knowJust why they let me goBut I'll never go dancing no more'Til I dance with the dead

Dear Sir I write this note to you to tell you of my plightFor at the time of writing I am not a pretty sightMy body is all black and blue, my face a deathly greyAnd I write this note to say why Paddy's not at work today.

Whilst working on the fourteenth floor,some bricks I had to clearTo throw them down from such a height was not a good ideaThe foreman wasn't very pleased, the bloody awkward sodHe said I had to cart them down the ladders in my hod.

Now clearing all these bricks by hand, it was so very slowSo I hoisted up a barrel and secured the rope belowBut in my haste to do the job, I was too blind to seeThat a barrel full of building bricks was heavier than me.

And so when I untied the rope, the barrel fell like leadAnd clinging tightly to the rope I started up insteadI shot up like a rocket till to my dismay I foundThat half way up I met the bloody barrel coming down.

Well the barrel broke my shoulder, as to the ground it spedAnd when I reached the top I banged the pulley with my headI clung on tightly, numb with shock, from this almighty blowAnd the barrel spilled out half the bricks, fourteen floors below.

Now when these bricks had fallen from the barrel to the floorI then outweighed the barrel and so started down once moreStill clinging tightly to the rope, my body racked with painWhen half way down, I met the bloody barrel once again.

The force of this collision, half way up the office blockCaused multiple abrasions and a nasty state of shockStill clinging tightly to the rope I fell towards the groundAnd I landed on the broken bricks the barrel scattered round.

I lay there groaning on the ground I thought I'd passed the worstBut the barrel hit the pulley wheel, and then the bottom burstA shower of bricks rained down on me, I hadn't got a hopeAs I lay there bleeding on the ground, I let go the bloody rope.

The barrel then being heavier then started down once moreAnd landed right across me as I lay upon the floorIt broke three ribs, and my left arm, and I can only sayThat I hope you'll understand why Paddy's not at work today.

Gotta change my answering machineNow that I'm aloneCuz right now it says that weCan't come to the phoneAnd I know it makes no senseCuz you walked out the doorBut it's the only way I hear your voice anymore(it's ridiculous)It's been monthsAnd for some reason I just(can't get over us)And I'm stronger than this(enough is enough)No more walkin roundWith my head downI'm so over being blueCryin over you

And I'm so sick of love songsSo tired of tearsSo done with wishing you were still hereSaid I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slowSo why can't I turn off the radio?
